Grain Bagger/Extractor

Northfarmer,

Which model of bagger are you using, and what things do you like and dislike about it? I am assuming that it does not have a hopper on top that you fill with a grain cart, but a coveyor style loading system that Flamans sell. What diameter bag are you using? I am told you can get baggers in 9,10 and 12 foot diameters. The 12 footers may only be for barley, I am not sure of that.

Would you purchase a bagger again. I can go to email if you would prefer for you comments.

we use 10' bagger, lime green machine?, not sure of manufacturer but built in USA, where this all started......extractors is argentine and came after seeing them at Red Deer ag show... ....if I did this again ...bigger would be better, we are thinking of modifying to use 12' bags....

have modified the existing conveyor to make it more automated and easier to transport.....we thought using a televeyor from Tridekon in MB as the filling system to the bagger...the hopper on top makes a lot of sense if the bags are to be in the field as you would eliminate the trucks at combining, but we like to centralize the bagging location for wildlife and other management issues....
